Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Zhou Baiyu's nostrils suddenly bled. A sharp pain surged through his brain.

But soon, the blood dried up, and the pain disappeared.

Zhou Baiyu was shocked. In that instant, he felt his thoughts had brushed against some forbidden realm, as if he had touched something closer to the truth than Dr. A's notes.

It was like when the Advanced World pioneers mentioned version contents to other humans or companions... Mentioning certain information could lead to backlash. The rules would erase them.

But for some reason, Zhou Baiyu only felt the pain for a moment before it vanished.

"Is this a signal?"

He wasn't frightened into stopping his thought processes, on the contrary, the brief moment of pain had made Zhou Baiyu realize... he might have thought of a key point.

"If there exists an even earlier version, say version 2.31, then my 2.30 self... would be a historical existence."

"We cannot directly intervene in history... The pioneers are the means by which we alter history!"

"So, when a pioneer truly changes history... we provide rewards as encouragement. But all this... is based on the existence of the pioneer."

"If we are indeed so divinely powerful, then why don't we directly change history?"

The gods transformed into rules, and rules need players to participate to manifest their existence!

In that moment, Zhou Baiyu suddenly realized.

"So the change in history... is not macro-managed by us! Which means, in the history of the Advanced World at this point... the Night Demons are preparing something big! The strengthening of the Night Demons could be because they've discovered something!"

...

...

The transfer station.

While Zhou Baiyu, based on his unique characteristics, as a sixth-sense player, began a series of deductions.

Lin suddenly opened her eyes.

She couldn't actually observe Zhou Baiyu.

But in her liquor cabinet, she hid many useful "wines."

These "wines" included skills, items, and intelligence.

If a pioneer had already obtained that skill, item, or mastered some intelligence through the Advanced World...

Then the drink in Lin's cabinet would turn into an ordinary one.

Although Lin couldn't observe Zhou Baiyu, her cabinet was filled with things that interested him.

The existence of a middleman is to guide the pioneers, step by step... towards the end of the rules.

But at this moment, Lin suddenly discovered that one drink had lost its effect.

She smiled and said:

"This drink isn't cheap... it could have affected your judgment of 'us.'"

"I didn't expect little brother, you'd have seen through it so soon. How interesting, too interesting!"

Amidst the clouds of smoke, Lin suddenly started looking forward to what this interesting different walker would change in this operation.

...

...

Zhou Baiyu quickly adjusted his breathing to calm down. He closed his eyes and began to slowly restore his strength.

His previous thinking was all speculation.

Nothing had been proven.

But Zhou Baiyu wasn't in a hurry.

"If the Night Demons are indeed making a move, then they must have noticed when I summoned the night with my wristwatch..."

"The Night Demons will surely come here, and then, perhaps, I can use 'The Woes of the Great Pioneer Zhuxun.'"

The Woes of the Great Pioneer Zhuxun was a blue drink that could offer Zhou Baiyu three instances of memory exchange.

Through the memories of the Night Demons, perhaps he could guess at the shadow of a major event.

...

...

Songjiang City.

While Zhou Baiyu was hidden in a building pondering everything, a brutal slaughter was unfolding in Songjiang City.

The immense Devouring Demon was the only one that did not follow the other demon lords to the area of night.

It was too large and uninterested in that small area; instead of hunting, the Devouring Demon preferred destroying the still-intact buildings of the city.

Under its massive iron hooves, buildings dozens of meters tall were cleanly demolished.

Skyscrapers collapsed, the city shook, countless debris fell, showering a part of Songjiang City in a rain of rubble.

No matter who was hiding, they all met the same fate under the massive iron hooves of the Devouring Demon!

The fiendish titan, of demon lord caliber, was so large it was terrifying, and the whole of Songjiang City seemed like its personal playground!

While the other demon lords advanced toward the shopping malls, the Devouring Demon had already begun its joyous destruction!

Many prisoners thought the Devouring Demon would be easy to deal with—such a massive creature must be slow and clumsy!

But they were wrong. The speed of the Devouring Demon was terrifyingly fast, its rushing winds howled like a hurricane!

Every corner it trampled turned into vast craters!

In the face of such absolute power, any tactic seemed laughably ineffective.

The elite force of the nine great demon clans— the demon lord-level Devouring Demon, Tomb Mountain, took the lead after the hunt began!

Hundreds of prisoners were crushed under its fearsome iron hooves!

Those of the demon clans who monitored the hunt through the Space-Time Demon Crystal could feel the power of the largest and undisputedly strongest among the nine great demon clans, the Devouring Demon.

"Lord Tomb Mountain has achieved a hundred kills! Look at those prisoners fleeing in panic, oh well~ I can't really see them, my eyes are only on Lord Tomb Mountain's majestic form!"
